RE: URGENT RESPONSES NEEDED, email fraud

From:

Christel Pella

Welcome to the real world! We have been getting these letters via email for
about 2 years. Most of them come from Nigeria.
Before that we got tons of them by regular mail. It is a lucrative business
for them once they latch on to a victim.

Dan and to whom it may concern at histonet,
Please note that I received this email again. I also received it again the
same day a couple of hour later. Dan, Please respond to this by copying to
histonet. I was not sure what to tell them about getting this email off the
histonet. Or how to keep it from coming to me from their end. To whom it may
concern at histone, I cannot remember the numerous times I have gotten this
email from the histonet. Please block this so that it will never come to my
address again. Thanks.
